“And he left me with a prayer / that I’d find you…”
Nobody has ever asked me what my favorite Elvis Presley song is, but if they ever do, I have my answer in the chamber: “Kentucky Rain, written for him by Eddie Rabbitt in 1970.”
By today’s standards, the lyrics are problematic: his girlfriend dumped him, and he’s on a quest to track her down. That’s also the plot of a lot of old romance movies, and it hasn’t aged well.
But this is one of Elvis’ most emotional songs, and I appreciate it on that level.
Full lyrics HERE.
“In the ghetto” written by Mac Davis. Showed range in Elvis’s voice

It’s interesting that we both liked his later, slower songs.

Kentucky Rain is a very pretty sad song and one of my favorites.
